[frog in a pot]

I have read your posts on this thread (OK, skimmed). After careful reflection, this is my conclusion:
If you were in a poker game, you would be asked to blow your cigar smoke in another direction.

If you are sincere, however, or even just playing the devil's advocate, please accept my apology and explain, at least for me, how any of what you offer diminishes the distinction in the gov language cited by Leo, between native- and natural-born.

[El Sordo]

I am saying that the term “Native-Born” is not used consistently across the INS interpretations and the documents Leo cites cannot then be reliably taken to mean what he says they mean.

As Thomas Sowell likes to say, it's an “AH-HA!” moment.

But I don't think it neccesarilys hold up under scrutiny.

Anyhow, I am only posting exactly what is written in the INS statutory interpretations. The links are all there for full context.
